Why Nicaragua
Guatemala may not exist but still
why Nicaragua
I close my eyes and
I feel her
Imagine
you are on a swing
made of wood and rope
shaped as a chair.
you are relaxed, happy
it is the most
comfortable swing in which you've
ever been
the wind off the lake blows through
banana leaves and palm fronds
[do you hear the ssshhhhhhhh]
and through your hair
you swing, gently
not spilling your rum
your feet slide over tiles and grout
tiles and grout
tiles and grout
smooth rough smooth rough smooth
ssssssshhhh
rough smooth rough smooth
THIS is Nicaragua
